Edith Creek Primary School

In 1954 state schools at Edith Creek, Trowutta, Irishtown, Roger River, Lileah and Nabageena closed their doors for the last time.
Pupils from these six small schools transferred to the modern Edith Creek Area School with spacious grounds, trade facilities and home arts block.
In the early 1970's Edith Creek became a district school.
In 1978 the last of the school's secondary pupils completed Grade 10. Edith Creek then became a primary school.
The facilities, once used by the school's secondary students have been redeveloped to provide splendid large classrooms for our early childhood and primary students. We also have a music room, multi-purpose room and a large gymnasium/hall.
Edith Creek Primary has two house teams which compete at our annual Athletics Carnival. The houses are Beams and Porteus.
The teams are named after Les Beams who was the first Principal of Edith Creek Area School and William Porteus who donated land to the Education Department for the Edith Creek Area School to be built on. Mr J F Kay also donated land for the school.
